I want to add photos to a CD that will auto run a Windows slideshow when
inserted on a CD ROM drive. I know that photos on a CD can be displayed as
a slideshow by clicking on the slideshow icon or pressing F11 in the Windows
Picture and Fax Viewer. I want to be able to send a CD to friends or family
that will simply begin the slideshow when they put the CD in their CD
drives.
I have achieved this by using proprietary software like Roxio's PhotoSuite,
Adobe Photoshop Album, or Photodex's ProShow. The problem with the use of
proprietary software application to create the slideshows is that they will
only run if the software is installed on the computer. This makes
distributing slideshow CDs useful only for those recipients who also have
the software on their computers.
I have received CDs with a simple program in the root of the CD that
launches a slideshow but I have not been able to figure out how to do this.
I suspect that the CDs were created for retail distribution by photo
processing labs like Kodak or Fujifilm.
Suggestions?
